Find Clarendon County Released Inmates

Clarendon County Release Meanings

A release is an event. A custody roster is only a snapshot. Clarendon County Detention Center, or CCDC, holds adults awaiting court and some people serving local sentences. A person may leave CCDC after bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, or completion of a local sentence. Yet leaving CCDC can also mean transfer to SCDC, another county, ICE, or an agency acting on a warrant. Death also ends a jail stay but is not a community release. The key questions are whether CCDC possession ended, why it ended, and who had custody next.

Local staff need an official court document that covers every applicable charge, unless the full court-ordered term has been served. Staff then complete required victim notices and a national criminal-history check. An open warrant or detainer can block a return to the community. A detainer is a request by another authority to hold or transfer the person. Thus a court order is legal authority to act, while the jail's release entry shows that staff finished the physical process.

Time served

The sentence is satisfied by the time already spent in custody.

Discharge

The custodial sentence or agency commitment has ended.

Parole

Early release from SCDC while the sentence continues under supervision.

Probation

Court-ordered community supervision, which may follow custody or replace incarceration.

Detainer

A request that the holding agency notify or transfer the person to another authority.

Clarendon County Release Types

The label attached to the event controls where to check next. Bond or recognizance normally returns a person to the community once every charge and hold clears. Probation may place the person under SCDPPPS supervision. Parole applies to an eligible SCDC prisoner, not an ordinary CCDC detainee. A transfer closes one facility's possession but continues custody elsewhere.

Clarendon County Release Record Fields

Clarendon County publishes no sample discharge form or public record schema. A narrow request can still identify the facts needed to verify a named event. Ask for existing fields rather than assuming every field is stored or releasable. The booking sheet ties the event to the correct jail stay. The actual date and time distinguish authorization from departure. Release authority and destination clarify whether the person entered the community or changed custodians.

SCDC uses a different record. Its released results show SCDC ID, name, sex, race, age, sex-offender indicator, release date, release type, and county. Exported data can add SID, victim and detainer indicators, and the most serious offense. Labels observed include RELEASED, PROBATION, and SUPV RE-ENTRY. The county field is administrative and does not prove which prison gate a person left.

Request Clarendon County Release Records

Start with CCDC Administrative Services/Records/Commissary at 803-433-3129 or Booking & Release Information at 803-435-8831 or 803-435-0697. Give the full name, an approximate booking date, date of birth when appropriate, and a booking or case number if known. Ask who holds the existing booking and release entry. Electronic delivery avoids a per-page copy fee when the record already exists in electronic form, though search, retrieval, and redaction labor may still apply.

1. Identify the exact person and jail stay with the best available dates and numbers.
2. Ask for the booking sheet, actual release date and time, release type or authority, destination, detainer outcome, and any releasable booking image.
3. If referred to the Sheriff, send a written request to the Office of General Counsel, 217 Commerce Street, Manning, SC 29102.
4. Request an estimate and set a cost limit. Ask for segregable, nonexempt portions if part of the record is withheld.
5. Preserve the reply. “No responsive record,” “transferred,” and “released” describe different results.

The Sheriff's FOIA page and fee schedule list $20 per hour for staff work, with higher rates possible for specialized staff, $0.30 per page, and $5 per CD or DVD that may hold photos, audio, or video. A deposit may be up to 25 percent. The form is useful but not mandatory. The image below shows that official request route.

A focused request reduces cost and makes it easier for the custodian to find the specific Clarendon County release record.

Clarendon Release Records Under FOIA

South Carolina Code Title 30, Chapter 4 covers public access to records held by public bodies. Section 30-4-30 allows inspection, copying, or electronic receipt of available public records. It does not force an office to create a new report. For a recent interval, request the existing release log or existing fields for stated start and end times. Records identifying people confined during the preceding three months must be open for inspection during operating hours under subsection (D)(3), but that rule does not promise an online roster or release archive.

An agency generally makes its initial availability decision within ten working days for records no more than 24 months old, or twenty working days for older records. Production after approval is generally due within thirty calendar days, or thirty-five for older material. A permitted deposit changes when that production period begins. Exemptions, sealing, and expungement can limit what is produced. Expungement is a court process that may destroy or seal qualifying arrest and booking material. A missing record can also reflect archive practices or an identity mismatch.

Where Clarendon Inmates Exit

The CCDC release procedure gives rare, practical detail. A person approved for community release leaves through a rear restricted area. Staff then escort that person to the main front parking lot. Processing is typically about thirty minutes, but that is an estimate. Pending volume, victim notification, criminal-history access, warrants, detainers, and facility activity can add time. There is no fixed daily gate hour.

A scheduled hearing, signed order, or phone estimate should not be recast as the moment of release. Ask Booking & Release Information whether the person physically left and whether the destination was the community. If another agency took custody, obtain that agency's record next.

Clarendon Bond Hearings and Release

Four rotating magistrates conduct bail hearings at 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. each day, or at another duty-magistrate time. The Clarendon Magistrate Court handles bail and specified lower-court matters. Yet a bond ruling does not complete the jail process. CCDC still needs official authority for every charge and must clear warrants and detainers.

Contempt and bench-warrant detainees tied to Family, Magistrate, Municipal, or General Sessions Court do not receive the ordinary bond hearing described for new charges. They await action from the court involved. This explains why one favorable docket entry may not lead to immediate departure. Each open case must be reconciled.

The official Magistrate Court view below provides the local source for bail procedure. It should be read with the CCDC record, since court action and physical release are separate facts.

The court can authorize release, while CCDC confirms completion at the jail.

Clarendon Release Funds and Property

CCDC handles funds differently based on destination. A person returning to the community receives the account balance on a debit card with instructions. A person transferred to another facility receives a paper check at the destination. That difference can help clarify whether “released” meant community exit or movement to another custodian.

Property may be released to family or friends only with the detainee's written authorization. Lobby pickup runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays. Confirm arrangements with CCDC before traveling. Property pickup by another person does not itself prove that the detainee has left custody.

Find Clarendon County Released Inmates

There is no official Clarendon current roster, 24-hour feed, 72-hour feed, release archive, or public booking-photo gallery. A named-person search therefore begins with the custodian rather than a missing online list. Ask a precise question: “Has this person physically left CCDC, on what date and time, under what release type, and did the person enter the community or another agency's custody?”

1. Call CCDC Booking & Release Information for a recent local jail stay.
2. Search the Clarendon Public Index and read all related case dockets in date order.
3. Use the SCDC Released Inmate Search for a completed state-prison release, not for a county-only stay.
4. Check SCDPPPS when parole, probation, community supervision, or supervised reentry may follow.
5. Use SC VINE for a named status check or alerts, then corroborate the reported change.
6. Use BOP, ICE, or federal court sources when a federal or immigration custodian is involved.
7. File a narrow records request when no online tool settles the event type or exact time.

For same-day and three-day options, use Released Last 24 Hours or Released Last 72 Hours. Both explain the local fallback because Clarendon publishes no rolling feed.

Reconcile Clarendon Release Dockets

Clarendon release authority may span Magistrate, Municipal, Family, and General Sessions matters. Search the Clarendon Public Index by person or case, then inspect charges, disposition, sentence, bond orders, dismissals, and later entries. A case can explain why release became lawful. It does not show the exact second that detention staff completed processing.

The Clarendon Clerk of Court provides criminal and civil copies in person, by mail, or fax. The office states a 24-hour turnaround unless offsite retrieval takes longer, and lists $10 for the first four pages plus $0.25 for each added page. It does not perform research. Readers should reconcile every docket, ask the clerk about entered orders when needed, and then verify gate release with CCDC.

The official Public Index search appears below. Its result is judicial history, so pair it with the operating custodian's release record.

Court history often remains available after a person has left the jail's active systems.

SCDC Clarendon Release Search

SCDC operates two tools with different scopes. The current Inmate Search covers people now sentenced to and incarcerated in SCDC, based on prior-midnight data. It excludes former SCDC prisoners, county-sentenced detainees, community-supervised people, fugitives, and protected juvenile records. Absence does not give a release date.

The SCDC Released Inmate Search is the right historical tool. Accept its instructions, enter a release-date range, and select CLARENDON or ALL LOCATIONS. Match an SCDC ID when possible. Read Release Date with Release Type. If no result appears, broaden the range and location choice, check current SCDC custody, and call SCDC Inmate Records at 803-896-8531 for an official date question.

The official SCDC released search form and a lawful result are shown below.

The form is for state-prison events. It must not be treated as a Clarendon County jail release feed.

Clarendon Release Supervision and Alerts

The South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services handles adult probation, parole, community supervision, and supervised reentry. Its Offender Search accepts name, SID, county, and year of birth in listed combinations. Results reflect the preceding day. A person who finished supervision may be absent, so no result does not prove discharge. The Clarendon office at 234 Commerce Street in Manning can address current-day status at 803-435-8885. More detail is available under Parole / Probation.

SC VINELink, also called SAVIN on the county detention page, supports a named-person custody or supervision check and notifications. Search by name or offender number, use middle initial and date of birth to separate matches, and inspect the custodian, location, and event. Users can register for phone, email, text, or TTY alerts. A transfer can require a new registration. VINE reports a source-agency change, not a full discharge certificate, so confirm release type and destination with CCDC, SCDC, or SCDPPPS.

Federal Clarendon Release Checks

No federal prison or dedicated ICE detention center was identified in Clarendon County, but federal or immigration custody can still follow a local stay. The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal prisoners from 1982 onward. A past release date with no facility, or location RELEASED, means the person is no longer in BOP custody. IN TRANSIT is not release. The result does not rule out supervision or another agency's custody.

The official BOP locator example below illustrates how a federal released result is framed.

Use BOP only for a federal sentence, and pair the result with the federal docket or other receiving agency when the destination remains unclear.

ICE's Online Detainee Locator searches by nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or exact name and country of birth with optional birth date. ICE keeps information on people released from its custody for up to 60 days. A local ICE detainer may permit notice and up to 48 hours of added custody for transfer. Therefore, CCDC release to ICE is not community release. USMS has no public prisoner locator; a federal pretrial release calls for the federal docket and release order.

Clarendon Release Status Sources

Choose a source by custodian and by time. Current-custody tools answer where a person is now. Event records answer when and how custody ended. Supervision systems answer whether legal control continues in the community.

Clarendon County Release Facilities

Clarendon County Detention Center is the local jail at 320 E. Boyce Street in Manning. County community release is confirmed through CCDC, court records, and VINE. A transfer may lead to another custodian instead.

Turbeville Correctional Institution is an SCDC medium-custody men's prison at 1578 Clarence Coker Highway in Turbeville. Its true discharges belong in the SCDC Released Inmate Search. A move to another SCDC prison remains custody. “Manning Reentry/Work Release Center” creates a naming trap: despite Manning's name, that SCDC facility is in Columbia. Always confirm physical location and operator before choosing a release path.
